藉由改變亮度來驅動一光源裝置之方法及具有該光源裝置之顯示裝置Method for driving a light source device by changing brightness and display device having the same

本發明係關於一種用於一顯示裝置之光源及一種用於驅動該光源之方法。The present invention relates to a light source for a display device and a method for driving the light source.

大體而言,液晶顯示器(LCD)裝置為薄、輕且具有低功率消耗的,此情形使得其盛行於大電視螢幕、監視器、筆記型電腦、蜂巢式電話等。LCD裝置包括利用光電控制透光性之液晶的影像顯示面板及向顯示面板提供光之背光總成。In general, liquid crystal display (LCD) devices are thin, light, and have low power consumption, which makes them popular in large television screens, monitors, notebook computers, cellular phones, and the like. The LCD device includes an image display panel that uses a photoelectrically controlled light transmissive liquid crystal and a backlight assembly that supplies light to the display panel.

背光總成包括產生光以在顯示面板上顯示影像的光源。背光總成可應用冷陰極螢光燈(CCFL)或發光二極體(LED)。當今,背光總成主要採用LED而非CCFL,因為LED具有低功率消耗及高色彩再現性。The backlight assembly includes a light source that produces light to display an image on a display panel. The backlight assembly can be applied to a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) or a light emitting diode (LED). Today, backlight assemblies primarily use LEDs rather than CCFLs because of their low power consumption and high color reproducibility.
